Trump: Media, Clinton And Sexual Assault Accusers Are Liars

Donald Trump said Thursday that the women accusing him of sexual assault are liars, while blaming the news media and Hillary Clinton for exposing his alleged crimes.

Amid reports that his campaign is in meltdown mode because of the scandal, the Republican nominee claimed there is “substantial evidence” his accusers’ stories are not true. According to The Hill, Trump dismissed as “slander and libel” the women’s accounts of their experiences with him.

The real-estate tycoon, during a rally in West Palm Beach, Fla., argued that news reporters and the Clinton campaign are responsible for a “concerted, coordinated and vicious attack” on him. He promised to release information “very soon” proving his innocence.

“Their claims are preposterous, ludicrous and defy logic,” Trump said. “These lies come from outlets whose past stories and claims have already been discredited. The media outlets did not attempt to confirm the most basic facts because even a simple investigation would have shown these were nothing more than false smears.”

The media are “conspiring directly” with Clinton because they are “in bed” with her, according to Trump. He said reporters are the former secretary of state’s “most powerful weapon,” explaining: “Their agenda is to elect crooked Hillary Clinton at any cost, any price, no matter how many lives they destroy. For them, it is war. They will attack you and slander you and seek to destroy your career and family and everything about you, including your reputation. They will lie, lie, lie and do worse than that. Whatever is necessary.”
